I Just Want To Pee Alone. Don’t You?

Today is the realization of a lifelong dream for me.  Over the weekend, just a little earlier than I was expecting, I was published.  In a real book.  That you can buy.  And that I can, like, autograph.  If anyone wants.  (looksdownkicksrocks) And in 48 hours, that book — I Just Want To Pee Alone […]

Happy Birthday, Baby!

It’s been a long year around here.  If you wanna read about the dramatic way this guy decided to join us last January 31st, click here. Me?  I wanna put all that behind me and celebrate how far he’s come one year later. On Meyer’s actual birthday, Asher was in school and Gabe was at […]

Breaking Up is Hard To Do. Kicking My Breast Pump To The Curb.

Actually, they were more HUGE than BIG. But since I’ve started producing milk, these things have entered a whole new stratosphere. Now […]

Stand and Deliver

This past week was a time of milestones for my boys. Meyer hit 33 weeks gestation (even though he’s gestating in an incubator now) and according to BabyCenter, became a pineapple weighing in at 4 pounds.
